Asunción Montessori House

"My vision of the future is no longer of people taking exams and proceeding on that certification... but of individuals passing from one stage of independence to a higher, by means of their own activity through their own effort of will, which constitutes the inner evolution of the individual ."

Our Story

Liliana Pankow founded Asuncion Montessori House in 2011 based on a vision she had for pioneering the Montessori Method in her home country, Paraguay.

Asuncion Montessori House is an international community of teachers, learners, and families whose goal is to utilize the Montessori Method to ignite a passion in children for global citizenship.

We hope to instill a deep sense of integrity, responsibility, and compassion within our students to help make the world a better place.

Why Montessori?

A Montessori environment allows children’s natural ability to conduct their development when given the opportunity and tools to do so. The multi-age grouping benefits children by allowing them to learn from one another. The younger kids mimic the older children’s behavior, so they naturally learn while mentoring their younger classmates.

Montessori schools nurture the child’s desire for learning and discovery while providing them with the necessary social interaction skills for their future.

“The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind” – Maria Montessori.
